Articles liés à The Bird Tribunal
Revue de presse
"The Bird Tribunal offers an incredible richness of themes... The atonement for the past sins and the titular bird tribunal carry powerful messages, as well as questions of morality and humanity... I am always in awe of translators' skills and craftsmanship, and their ability to travel between languages. Rosie Hedger is already a winner of English PEN's Award for her exquisite work in bringing this evocative, chilling and beautiful psychological thriller to the English-speaking world." -- Crime Review
"Empty rooms, rodents and birds are not in themselves terrifying: The Bird Tribunal makes them so... This world is worth a visit." -- Café Thinking
"Agnes Ravatn's The Bird Tribunal, translated from the Norwegian by Rosie Hedger, is a beautiful slow-burn of a novel told from the perspective of Allis Hagtorn who has left her former, highly-public and scandalous life to work on the isolated farm of Sigurd Bagge while Bagge's wife is away... this really reminds me of Patricia Highsmith's work, and I can't offer much higher praise than that." -- Philip Ardagh
"Beautifully written and packed with atmospheric descriptions of the changing seasons on the fjord." -- Promoting Crime
"Chilling, atmospheric and hauntingly beautiful... I was transfixed." --Amanda Jennings
"Ravatn creates a creeping sense of unease, elegantly bringing the peace and menace of the setting to vivid life. The isolated house on the fjord is a character-like shadow in this tale of obsessions. This is domestic suspense with a twist creepy and wonderful." --Good Reading Magazine
Biographie de l'auteur
Agnes Ravatn (b. 1983) is an author and columnist. She made her literary debut with the novel Week 53 (Veke 53) in 2007. Since then she has written three critically acclaimed and award-winning essay collections: Standing still (Stillstand), 2011, Popular reading (Folkelesnad), 2011, and Operation self-discipline (Operasjon sjoldisiplin), 2014. In these works Ravatn shows her unique, witty voice and sharp eye for human fallibility. Her second novel, The Bird Tribunal (Fugletribuanlet), 2013, is a strange and captivating story about shame, guilt and atonement. Ravatn received The cultural radio P2's listener's prize for this novel, a popular and important prize in Norway, in addition to The Youth's Critic's Prize. The Bird Tribunal was also made into a successful play, which premièred in Oslo in 2015.
